"Worth It" is a song performed by American girl group Fifth Harmony, featuring American rapper Kid Ink.[1] The song impacted American rhythmic crossover radio on March 2, 2015 as the third and final single from the group's debut studio album, Reflection (2015). Written by Priscilla Renea and its producers Stargate, "Worth It" is a dance-pop and R&B song that incorporates a strong use of Balkan music and Middle Eastern music in its production, the trademark of its producer and songwriter, Ori Kaplan. The lyrics discuss themes of feminism, self-worth and confidence, and include double entendres.

The song became a sleeper hit on the US Billboard Hot 100 where it peaked at number 12, marking the group's highest charting single at the time[2] and the first top 20 single by a girl group in the US since "Jai Ho! (You Are My Destiny)" by The Pussycat Dolls in 2009. It reached number three on the UK Singles Chart. Directed by Cameron Duddy, the music video has themes of female empowerment with Fifth Harmony dominating men as business executives. It has received over a billion views on YouTube. The group promoted "Worth It" with several televised performances, including the season twenty-one finale of Dancing with the Stars, Jimmy Kimmel Live! and at the 2015 MTV Europe Music Awards.

Background and development

Ori Kaplan, who produced "Talk Dirty" by Jason Derulo, also co-produced and co-wrote "Worth It".

"Worth It" was produced and co-written by Norwegian production company, Stargate, consisting of duo Mikkel S. Eriksen and Tor Erik Hermansen and Ori Kaplan, with additional writing from Priscilla Renea. The song was released on January 15, 2015 on streaming and downloading services but officially impacted American rhythmic crossover radio as a single on March 2, 2015.[3] A Spanish version titled "Dame Esta Noche" (Spanish for "Give Me This Night") was released to iTunes on July 10, 2015, following the success of the single.[4] The track features Kid Ink's English rap verse, while the group sings in Spanish.[5]

Originally intended for recording by rapper Kid Ink, who ended up collaborating on the song, the lyrics and melody were changed to fit a female perspective. Kid Ink noted during an interview with Forbes that while he was "writing on their album", he was able to collaborate with "producers Stargate and Cashmere Cat" and this led to the development of the song.[6] One of Kid Ink's verses from "Wit It" (the original version of the song) appears on this song.[7] Speaking to Complex, Dinah Jane explained that the song was unplanned for the album, saying "there were no females on the song". After the song was presented to them by production team Stargate, they changed part of the lyrics and bits "of the concept" to "fit [their] perspective". Lauren Jauregui also shared similar sentiments, saying that she "didn't think" the track would "make the album".[8] In an interview with Billboard, music director David Armbrecht explained that the song is a "message of self-empowerment, which is made clear in its triumphant 'Give it to me, I'm worth it!' chorus". The song speaks to women of "all demographics", he said, explaining that this can be applied to anyone in a "relationship" or "getting out of one" and it is likely that one can get "tired of the games" and deserve better, using the song to do just that.[9]

Composition

"Worth It"
"Worth It" takes its music from a variety of instrumentation, as a trap-inspired Roland TR-808, heavy bassline, handclaps and a saxophone as its foundation. Several music critics noted that "Worth It" production is comparable to "Talk Dirty" by Jason Derulo for similar use of horns.[10][11]

Musically, "Worth It" incorporates dance-pop and contemporary R&B with influences of hip hop and Balkan music.[12][13][14][15][16][17] The song contains elements from a variety of music genres. It can be noted mainly in its instrumentation, which incorporates a Middle Eastern-inflected saxophone,[12][18] trance synths and a trap-inspired Roland TR-808 drum machine.[11] Songwriting and production is largely based on previous Kaplan and Stargate's productions, most notably Jason Derulo's "Talk Dirty", which shows similar song scheme and use of horns during the hook.[10][11][13] The song is written from the perspective of a woman telling a man that she is "Worth It", implying sexual connotation.[19] However, it can be considered as a feminist anthem, according to Jeff Benjamin from Fuse, it can inspire "young girls to truly believe they're 'Worth It' and can own Wall Street or any other place on which they set their sights". This latter view of the song is highlighted in its music video.[10]

The song opens with a saxophone sample that introduces the repetitive hook, where the group sings repeatedly the phrase "Give it to me, I'm worth it", backed by heavy bassline and "trappy beats"[10][12][19][20][21] Followed by Kid Ink's rapped verse, Emilee Linder of MTV noted he insists that they "bring it back like they left something".[15] The member Dinah Jane then is introduced, backgrounded with handclaps, Normani Kordei performs the pre-chorus (which is then performed by Ally Brooke after the second verse),[13] while the second verse is sung by Camila Cabello, who delivers the song's most suggestive lines, "Come harder just because/I don't like it, like it too soft/I like it a little rough/Not too much, but maybe just enough".[15][19] According to the sheet music published by Sony Music Publishing at Musicnotes.com, the song is written in the key of C minor and is set in a 4
4 time signature with a moderate tempo of 100 beats per minute. Fifth Harmony and Kid Ink's vocal range spans from the low note of G3 to the high note of Ab5. The saxophone's melody spans the tonal range of E4 to C6. [22]

Critical reception

"Worth It" received mixed reviews from music critics, receiving praise for its catchy rhythm and attitude but was criticized for sounding similar to Jason Derulo's "Talk Dirty". Rick Florino from Artistdirect praised "Worth It", giving it a five out of five star rating, claiming the song has "an empowering refrain that's impossible to shake, especially when coupled with a slippery beat".[23] FDRMX also reviewed it positively, mentioning that "the production is solid and the lyrics are catchy" and also stating that the single is Fifth Harmony's most mature record yet.[24] Several music publications considered it a strong contender for song of the summer.[25][26][27]

Rebecca Mattina, from Andpop gave the song a mixed review, noting too-close a similarity to "Talk Dirty" but also stating that the track is "filled with lots of attitude" and rhythmic bounce.[28] Conversely, Music Times gave it a positive review stating 'the intense, creeping music of "Worth It" is matched with deep harmonies from 5H and personally positive lyrics". They made a comparison to the first lead single of Reflection (2015), "Boss".[29] In a review for their debut album, Reflection (2015), Meaghan Garvey of Pitchfork commented that the song is an "exhaustive exquisite corpse of practically every radio hit of the last year and a half" and criticizes the "wholly unremarkable rap verse" performed by Kid Ink.[30]

In a negative review, Jason Lipshutz from Billboard, stated that the song sounded "oddly incomplete." Lipshutz also highlighted the song's "repetitive phrasing."[31] In a mixed-positive review, Amy Davidson, from Digital Spy, noted that "trumpets and saxophones have experienced a resurgence [and Fifth Harmony] have laid it on thick for some serious sax-sampling. 'Give it to me I'm worth it,' they determine, dripping with sass." Davidson also stated, "It mightn't be the most groundbreaking of tracks, but it's got enough attitude to forgive that."[21] For their year-end list of best songs, Associated Press listed it at number three[32] and Spin ranked it at 68.[33] Artistdirect ranked the song at number one in their mid-year report.[34]

Music video

Background and reception

"We also wanted to incorporate feminism and girl power and our fans, so we kind of did this Twitter thing where we... told them to send in tweets saying why they think feminism is sexy and why they think it’s cool and why they think women empowerment is awesome."

—Camila Cabello talking to MTV about fans' tweets that appear in the music video.[71]

The music video premiered at the 2015 Kids' Choice Awards on March 28, 2015.[72] It was uploaded the same day to the group's official Vevo account and directed by Cameron Duddy.[73][74] The video follows a similar concept from their lead single, "Boss", focusing on themes of self-worth, confidence and female empowerment. The "Worth It" music video earned Fifth Harmony their first Vevo certified award in July 2015[75] and later reached the one-billion-view mark on July 27, 2016. With over 1.7 billion views, it is now one of the 60 most viewed YouTube videos of all time and the second-most watched YouTube video by a girl group, being overtaken at the number one spot for most watched video with "Work from Home", which was released a nearly a year later.[73]

Critics were positively receptive of the video, some calling the visuals "sexy" and commending the message of female empowerment that is the group executes. In a positive review, MTV called it "surprisingly sexy" and compared the office look of the video to Fifty Shades of Grey.[76] Christina Lee from Idolator praised the video for putting women in position of power. She notes the video's ambiguous message, but knows there is a "clear difference between women dressing for the male gaze and doing so for their own personal satisfaction."[77] The video was abruptly deleted from YouTube on July 18. At the time, a static screen appeared that read, "This video has been removed as a violation of YouTube's policy on repetitive, misleading or inappropriate metadata." It was later re-uploaded with the previous views intact. When reached to comment on the issue, a spokesperson for YouTube later commented saying that videos can be taken down by mistake but a review is taken to take "appropriate action", which include restoring videos that were previously removed. However, there could be another reason why it was taken down, which is because of its sexualized portrayal of Cabello and Jane, who were underage[clarification needed] when the video was filmed.[78]

Synopsis

The video begins with shots of the skyline of Hong Kong, where most of the setting takes place. An image of a stock market appears, zooming in on what appears to say, "@FifthHarmony women in power". The ladies then appear in silhouettes and begin walking confidently as men stand next to a wall, appearing to stand in attention to the ladies. Individual shots of every girl are shown, giggling and smiling at the camera, before switching back to the stock market background. The group perform a choreographed dance move, and a Newton's cradle is shown being used, in rhythm to the song. The words "break through the glass ceiling" appear in stock market background, a reference to the obstacles that minorities, particularly minority women, have when climbing the corporate ladder.

The members of Fifth Harmony dress in business-esque attire, demonstrating themes of feminism and self-worth.

The verse changes to Kid Ink, who is dressed in almost all-black clothing. He appears to be sitting in an office room with two attractive women approaching him as he sings. The women are dressed in business attire and are shown to have green eyes, known as a symbol for greed and/or jealousy. A man is shown cleaning Dinah's shoe, as she controls him. She then kicks him to show she is not controlled by anyone. The scene shifts to Normani, who is sporting a fashionable business outfit with a white blazer. She then dramatically stands up from her chair, while a man, who appears to be her accountant, looks at her in a frightened motion. Just like the women sitting next to Kid Ink, he also appears to have green eyes. All members perform a dance move, when the setting shifts to Camila getting ready to play golf in her office. Ally is then shown with a man who also appears to be her accountant, similar to Normani. Lauren is seen in the back of a convertible black car with a man in the driver's seat. Each girl either flicks the man next to them or kicks them in frustration.

The ladies are now in the stock market background, telling their lover that they're "Worth It". They also seem to rush their accountants, who are continuously typing on their calculators. The words "feminism is sexy" appear in the stock market background, before switching to Kid Ink, where the women move in-sync to the rhythm as he raps. The camera zooms into the eyes of a woman, with her eyes appearing bright green. The group perform more choreographed dance moves individually and as a group. Shots of all the members winking their eye, smiling, and showing confidence are shown. The video ends with the group facing away from the camera and looking at the stock market behind them, then turn around and move their hands upward, a similar ending to the group's past videos.

Fifth Harmony performed "Worth It" live for the first time on VH1's Big Morning Buzz Live on February 17, 2015.[79] They performed the song on Live! with Kelly and Michael on April 13,[80] as well as on the Radio Disney Music Awards which aired on April 26, 2015.[81] The song was also performed on the finale of Dancing with the Stars on May 19, 2015.[82] Outside of the United States, the group performed for the first time in the United Kingdom at Good Morning Britain on June 5, 2015[83] as well as Capital FM's Summertime Ball at Wembley Stadium the following day[84] and on CBBC's Friday Download a month later.[85] The group performed the song with Kid Ink for the first time on Jimmy Kimmel Live on June 18, 2015, and this was also their first ever late night appearance.[86]
